About Me

Hey, I’m Sukumar Thingom. For years, I struggled as a blogger and made many mistakes. While those mistakes were actually helpful in consolidating my knowledge, they had been time-wasting too. The purpose of my blog is to help newbie bloggers maneuver their way through the extremely confusing maze as internet marketing is and without having to waste much precious time.

To an aspiring internet entrepreneur, seeking for information on “how to make money online” on the web throws up thousands of pages and blogs on the topic, and picking up the bits to start out an online business journey isn’t as easy as it seems. Notwithstanding the wealth of information there, one can get easily confused and feel overwhelmed by the various contradictory views voiced by the “successful” entrepreneurs on how to earn money through our online activities. At the same time, the making-thousands-of-dollars-in-a-month from “the comforts of home” claims can be very tempting for anybody looking to earn extra income through internet business, and most people jump on to this online business bandwagon straight away. People realise only later that there are much more than simply creating beautiful websites to earn income. The statistics are a telling story: 90 % of all internet business fail in the first four months itself. There are reasons why people fail. We often forget that online business, like all other offline businesses, adhere to the same basic principles of marketing and sales, and it takes much hard work to succeed.

Success in online business requires many things, some outright simple and some not-so-easy ones, and it pays to be equipped with proper knowledge so that we may move on to the success path smoothly. Right from the complete newbies to experienced ones, a more rounded knowledge is required, that needs to be updated from time to time. Internet as a medium is still evolving and methods employed to leverage our websites for earning income become obsolete fast. One must be constantly ahead of the pack to succeed.

The blog posts here are intended to give a walk-through to all the different aspects of online business and is an attempt at educating any aspiring internet entrepreneur on the various pitfalls of online marketing. The essence of the website is to tell people that internet business is not always a walk-in-the-park venture. And as with any business, the progress chart can have spikes and dips. But if one can get himself armed with the best tools and knowledge in the industry, then making millions is not an illusion at all.

I have been an affiliate marketer for the last three years and seeing the business up from close, I feel that there are many half-truths out there. There is no substitute for hard work. But before we learn how-to-get-rich-online, we should be learning how the whole internet marketing business works, and what are the things behind that drives a successful online business.
